and  47  women)  come  from  ])oints 
outsiih'  Toronto,  eleven  of  them  be- 
in<r  from  the  Cnited  States.  It  is  of 
interest  also  to  notice  that  five  of 
the  men  enrolled  are  takin<ir  the  Bible

111.    PRACTICAL  WORK 

Till'  trainin>:'  of  tho  students  in 
Hussions  anil  cvanjitdisni  was  car- 
rit'd  on  in  tiio  sanu'  way  as  bcfori'. 
by  instruction  in  the  tdass-rooni  and 
by  tlu'  voluntary  work  of  the  stu- 
dents  throujih   tlu'ir   or^'^anizations. 

The  Evan<relistie  Society  con- 
ducted 32  Sunday  evenintr  Gospel 
nieetintrs  in  17  different  places.  14 
week  ni«rht  Gospel  meetinjrs,  and  25 
noon  hour  factory  inet^tinjrs.  The 
students  this  year  also  undertook  the 
responsibility  for  the  entire  work  of 
a  mission  in  the  northern  part  of  the 
city  for  five  months  of  the  session. 
In  connection  with  it  they  conducted 
44  Sunday  services  and  18  week 
nijrlit  m«'etin^''s.  In  addition  to  all 
this.  !.")()  Sunday  ajijiointments  in  the 
city  and  elsewhere  Avere  taken  by  16 
of  the  yountr  nu'ii  dnrintr  the  session. 
This  makes  a  total  of  232  Sunday  ser- 
vices conducted  and  addressed  by 
Bible  Golleo:e  students.  This  sum- 
mary does  not  include  cottage  meet- 
in<rs.  Sunday  School  classes,  and  the 
unnoticed  but  fruitful  ministry  of 
house  to  house  visitation,  hospital 
visitation,  and  tract  distribution. 

The  ^lissionary  Society  orjranized 
and  carried  on  mission  study  classes, 
one  of  them  beino:  amontr  the  even- 
inw  students,  in  which  six  books 
were  studied.  The  afternoon  meet- 
ings for  missionary  education,  and 
the  early  mornin<r  meetings  for  inter- 
cession were  held  each  week  as  usual. 
Seventy-five  letters  were  written  to 
former  students  now  on  the  foreign 
field.  Twenty  extension  meetings  in 
the  cause   of  missions   were   held    in 


Young  People's  Societies  and  other 
places  outside  the  College.  Three  of 
the  graduating  class  are  alreaily 
under  appointment  to  the  field. 

A  total  of  $1,122.00  for  missionary 
purposes  was  conlributed  through 
the  Students'  Missionary  Society. 
Of  this  amount  nearly  $()()0  was 
given  through  the  boxi-s  in  the  Col- 
lege vestibule,  for  the  work  of  three 
formei-  students  under  tliiec  interde- 
nominational missions  in  three  dif- 
ferent i)arts  of  the  workl.  and  .t2i)0 
was  contributed  as  the  spontaneoiis 
tiift  of  the  students  to  the  Armenian 
Helief  Fund. 

IV.  GRADUATING  CLASS 
Twenty-three  students  are  entitled 
to  receive  the  diploma  of  the  College 
for  two  years'  work  in  the  Day 
Classes.  Two  who  have  previously 
received  evening  class  certificates, 
and  three  who  have  had  a  year's 
Avork  in  another  institution,  have  at- 
tended throughout  the  session  and 
passed  satisfactory  examinations. 
This  makes  a  graduating  class  of 
twenty-eight  students,  the  largest, 
Avith  one  exception,  in  the  history  of 
the  College.  It  is  an  interesting  fact 
that  only  eight  of  these  have  their 
honu's  in  Toronto.  Three  graduates 
of  former  years  have  taken  a  third 
year  of  further  study.  Eight  stu- 
dents in  the  Evening  Classes  have 
completed  three  yeai's  of  woi-k  and 
receive  certificates.

V.    REVIEW  OF  PRINCIPLES 

In  view  of  the  fact  that  the  Col- 
li'<re  has  reached  a  point  at  which  it 
must  prepare  foi-  lar^ci-  dexclop- 
ment  of  its  work,  it  may  lie  well  to 
e«>nsider  the  principles  that  haxc 
truided  the  intei-iial  administration  of 
this  woi"k  in  the  |)ast.  in  order  to  see 
whethi-r  these  pi'inciples  are  ap- 
proved by  till'  ('oiiMcil.  or  shoidd  i»e 
modified  to  meet  the  coiKlJiions  of 
the  future.  Pfubably  tlic  best  way 
to  make  these  pi-inciples  clear  is  to 
examine  the  ci'itieisms  that  have 
been  direettni  a^rainst  the  liible  Col- 
le^T  from  time  to  time.  They  may 
all  be  summai'i/.ed  under  three  «zen- 
eral   criticisms  : 


(1)  "The  Bible  College  course  is 
weak.'"  This  is  the  most  common 
criticism  made  upon  all  Bible  Insti- 
tutes, and  the  Bible  Colle<>'e  natu- 
rally shares  in  it.  Some  of  this  criti- 
<'isin  may  be  traced  to  a  certain  atti- 
tude of  miiul  reji'arding-  the  I5ible ; 
some  of  it  arises  from  ignorance  of 
the  extent  and  nature  of  the  course; 
but  some  of  it  is  honest  and  neces- 
sary, and  should  be  heeded. 

•  The  I)iblc  College  course  should 
not  be  judged  by  the  staiulards  used 
in  training  scdiolars  and  s]iecialists. 
This  is  not  the  pui'pose.  It  is  intend- 
I'd  to  train  men  and  women  in  the 
knowledge  and  practical  use  of  the 
English  Bible,  and  to  fit  them  for 
doing  their  part  of  the  work  of  God 
in  the  world.  Yet  the  course  should 
stand  the  test  of  scholarship.  Our 
course  of  instruction  now  comprises 
all  the  subjects  that  are  found  in  the 
curriculum  of  the  average  thelelogi- 
cal  seminary  but  the  approach  is  de- 
votional, not  critical.  These  sub- 
jects are  taught  by  men  who  have 
college  and  seminary  training.  The 
central  feature  of  the  course  is  the 
study  of  the  Bible,  book  by  book, 
fi'om  beginning  to  end  in  a  reverent, 
systematic  way.  Thus  the  student  is 
ex])ose(l  day  after  day  through  all 
his  course  to  the  dii-ect  influence  of 
the  IJible  itself  as  it  is  unfolded. 
Ai'ound  this  all  the  other  work  is 
gathered.  The  n^sults  show  that  this 
kind  of  course  has  in  it  power  enough 
to  send  the  students  out  into  the 
world  and  do  the  will  of  (Jod  in  their 
(lay  and  generation. 

IJiit  while  the  course  cannot  fairly 
be  described  as  weak,  it  is  true  that 
it  is  inadetpiate.  It  needs  to  be  sup- 
plemented with  a  certain  amount  of 
academic  training,  on  the  one  hand. 
to  meet  the  needs  of  students  with 
inadiMpmte  English  education,  and 
on  the  other  to  meet  the  needs  of 
students  looking  foi'ward  to  the 
ministrv. 


Till-;   K'i:((HM)i:ii* 


(TI^  •"Tlio  Bible  ('()ll('<r('  is  too  ii<r- 
L:i-t'.ssi\t'.  It  has  forced  itself  into  a 
tieltl  wllieli  l)elon^s  to  tlie  eliurehes. 
It  has  no  eeelesiastieal  eonneeti»»ii.  it 
is  subject  to  no  (hMiomiiiatioiial  con- 
trol, and  it  is  drawini:'  a^va>"  youii^' 

people    from    their    own    eluil'elies. " ' 

This  kind  of  criticism  manifests 
itself  in  a  variety  of  wa\s.  The  in- 
terdenominational ehaiMcter  of  this 
institution  does  not  mean  thai  it  oj)- 
poses  denominational  AvorU,  hut 
rather  that  it  seeks  to  minister  to  all 
denonuuations  in  common.  Thos(> 
who  know  it,  do  not  need  to  be  told 
that  it  sends  its  students  out  loyal  to 
their  own  particular  churches.  But 
the  Bible  ('oileji'e  occupies  a  field  for 
which  the  churches  are  making'  no 
provision.  At  the  recent  meetin*»'  of 
the  Educational  Association  in  To- 
ronto, it  was  stated  that  about  95' i 
of  the  children  in  Ontario  do  not  "o 
beyond  the  juiblic  school.  This 
means  that  at  most  only  o'/(  of  the 
youu":  people  of  the  churches  have 
the  preparatory  traininp;  that  is  ue- 
cessary  to  fit  them  for  the  ministry 
or  for  specialized  foiMus  of  Christian 
.service  in  the  churches.  Surely  the 
Bible  ('ollep:e  caunot  be  called  too 
a»r(rressive  if  it  opens  its  doors  to 
the  95'i  and  gives  them  an  oppor- 
tunity to  make  their  lives  mor(>  us(>- 
ful  and  effective  for  Christ  and  the 
church  in  the  world. 

In  view  of  the  fact,  howevei-.  that 
this  feelinor  exists  on  the  part  of 
many  persons  in  the  organized 
churches,  we  have  for  the  most  i)art 
followed  the  i)lan  of  lettin<i:  tlie  work 
tell  for  itself,  believiuji'  that  this  is 
the  best  way  to  vindicate  it  and  to 
prove  its  value.  There  has  been  no 
afjgrressive  ad\ei-tisin<r.  The  stu- 
dents themselves  are  its  best  ami 
most  enthusiastic  advertisers,  and 
])robably  the  majority  of  those  Avho 
come  to  the  Colle<re  from  year  to 
year  are  directed  towards  it  by  the 
testimonv  of  former  students. 


(ill)  "The  Bible  Colb'jre  is  not 
ajr^iressive  enou<rll.  It  needs  a  I'esi- 
(lence  to  j^ive  its  studeuts  propel" 
1rainin;i-.  It  does  not  '/ivr  its 
students  enon<rh  practical  work. 
It  should  hold  extension  classes 
1  lii-onv;'h<»nI  the  rjty.  Il  should  es- 
tablish a  eoi'respondence  course." 
This  is  the  view  of  some  fi'iends  of 
the  l»ible  ('ollej^c  who  know  the 
value  of  its  work  and  teachiu}:-,  and 
desire  to  see  its  influence  expanded. 

This  class  of  criticism,  and  the 
su<><restions  that  s])rin<r  from  it  are 
all  based  on  the  idea  that  the  P»ible 
Collejic  should  undertake  the  same 
kimls  of  work  that  have  been  so  suc- 
cessfully carried  on  by  other  institu- 
tions. This  raises  the  jirior  (|uestion 
whiidi  should  first  be  decided  as  to 
what  the  futui'e  jiolicy  of  the  Colle«re 
shall  be.  Shall  it  follow  out  by  its 
own  natural  <>'rowth  those  liiu's  of 
developmt'iit  alon^'  which  it  has  been 
led  in  the  past?  Shall  it  continue  in 
its  endeavor  to  build  up  a  stronjr 
teacliin<r  centre  and  let  its  intiuence 
extend  from  there,  or  shall  it  en- 
deavor to  spread  out  in  other  lines 
of  expansion.'  The  ]>olicy  hitherto 
followed  has  centred  the  strenirth  of 
the  Collejre  on  the  instruction  <riven 
in  the  class-room.  It  is  believed  that 
the  ])ersonal  touch  of  the  instructor 
u]ion  the  student  is  needed  for  the 
most  effective  teaehinp:  and  trainino;, 
and  that  this  can  oidy  be  secured 
within  certain  limitations.  AVhatever 
lines  of  exjiansion  the  Collejre  may 
enter  upon  in  the  future  should  not 
be  allowed  to  weaken  the  personal 
teaching  center.

ci'case  our  rev(Miue  for  next  year,  and 
that  will  be  one  of  the  items  for 
special  considiM'ation. 

At  the  openinjr  of  the  session  a 
special  service  was  observed  to  com- 
memorate the  25th  anniversary  of 
the  foun(lin<r  of  the  ("olle<:-e.  \'alu- 
able  and  inspiriii",'  addresses  were  de- 
livered by  Rev.  Principal  O'Meara  of 
Wycdiffe  CoHen-e,  and  liev.  Joliii 
MacXcill.  D.I).,  j.astor  of  the  Wal- 
nn-r  Road  Baptist  ('liui'ch,  to  which 
the  ffuinder  and  the  first  Princi|)al 
both  belonjred,  and  under  whose  roof 
the  fii-st  sessions  of  the  College  were 
conducted.  Till'  substance  of  these 
addresses  was  reporterl  iji  the  Re- 
corder, and  seut  liroadcast  to  our 
friends. 

The  ('olle^'c  was  re|)reseiited  by 
two  students  and  the  Secretary  of 
tlie  Alumni  Association  at   the  <:reat 


International  Student  Volunteer 
( 'onvention.  held  at  Des  Moines, 
Iowa,  last  •laniiary.  wliicdi  is  report- 
ed to  lia\e  been  the  "largest  and 
most  cosmopolitan  audience  of  stu- 
dents e\-er  br(MiL;lit  together  into  a 
single  auditorium.""  Men  and  wo- 
men of  forty  nations  were  included 
in  the  registration  of  nearly  seven 
thousand  delegates  (representing 
0!)()  universities  and  colleges  of 
Xottli  America).  Nearly  500  foreign 
boi-n  students  were  present,  in  addi- 
tion to  scores  of  returned  mission- 
aries, Church  Board  secretaries, 
speakers,  leaders,  and  friends.  The 
Canadian  Colleges  sent  over  -iOO  dele- 
gates. The  im])ressions  made  on  our 
delegates  and  the  inspiration  of  their 
r(>ports  fully  justified  the  expense  in- 
\ olved,  which,  by  the  way,  was  con- 
tributed in  part  by  the  students,  and 
sup|)lenuMited  by  outside  friends,  so 
that  it  was  no  tax  on  our  curr<'nt 
rex'enui'. 

In  order  that  the  detail  work  of 
the  office  might  be  more  ef^ciently 
carried  out.  and  tlie  Secretary  reliev- 
ed for  increased  work  in  the  class- 
room, the  services  of  Mr.  Herbert 
L.  Troyer,  a  graduate  of  the  College, 
and  Secretary  of  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion, were  secured  this  sjiring.  and  he 
has  already  entered  on  his  work 
which  promises  impoi'tant  dev(dop- 
meiits  in  connection  with  the  organi- 
zation of  former  students  as  centres 
of  interest  and  pro|)aganda,  the  de 
velopmeiit  of  the  |)resent  student 
body,  and  the  introduction  of  a  jnoi-e 
complete  filing  system  of  records  and 
correspondence.  As  an  expression 
of  interest,  till-  student  body,  past 
and  present,  has  contributed  abo-ut 
.$750. 00  to  be  used  for  needed  equip-

"The  greatest  need  in  the  foreign 
fields  to-day  is  an  increasing  num- 
ber of  Bible  students,  and  to  furnish 
such  the  Toronto  Bible  College  is,  to 
my  mind. one  of  the  most  powerful 
factors  for  the  extension  of  the 
Kingdom  of  God  throughout  the 
world.

of  our  oldest  friends  in  the  recent 
death  of  Mr.  Elias  Ho<i-ers,  who  was 
one  of  the  (diai'tef  memhei's  of  the 
Hoard  of  (iovernors,  and  a  re^'ular 
eontrihiitor  to  our  work  from  the  be- 
^rinnine-.  An  exinvssion  of  sympathy 
was  sent  the  nuMuhei's  of  his  family 
on   iK'half  of  the  lioai'd. 

\Vr  are  pleased  to  announce  the 
appointiiH'nt  of  Mr.  Edwin  (}.  l>aker

The  (piestion  of  a  students'  resi-

sideration through  the  summer,  in 
preparation  for  next  session. 

In  view  of  the  lar<»'er  responsibili- 
ties undertaken  foi'  the  comiu<i'  year, 
an  effort  is  already  uiulei-  way  to 
increase  the  current  i'e\-eiiue  from 
•tS.OOO  to  $12,()()()  a  year.  A  leaflet 
setting-  forth  the  history,  work  and 
needs  of  the  ('olle<i'e  has  been  pre- 
pared for  the  purj)ose,  and  the  co- 
operation of  all  friends  of  the  Col- 
lej>-e  is  earnestly  desired  in  l)i"in<i'in<'' 
about  the  required  i-esult.  The

of  the  ("olleu'e  to  the  attention  of  the 
Christian  pnhlic  both  as  re<iards  its 
advanta<i'es  and  its  needs  is  of  vital 
imiiortance  just  now.  A  larji'e  num- 
ber of  oui'  citizens  know  little  of  our 
work,  and  others  have  an  idea  that 
we  a  I'c  an  endoAved  institution  carry- 
inu'  on  sonu'thin<i'  of  a  "fad"  in  the 
way  of  Hible  teaching — both  of  these 
impressions  must  be  removed  for  the 
sake  of  the  work  itself  and  for  the 
sake  of  the  important  need  it  is  in- 
tended to  fill. 

With  an  inci'easine'  con\'ictiou  of

Two  hundred  and  twenty-fivo  p;nosts

FoJInwiiiL;-  inaii\'  matters  discussed, 
the  two  f()llowin«i'  motions,  whiidi
